Welcome! We are glad you’re here and we would love to hear from you.
WELCOME • Ben Prater, Senior Director for Worship & Communications
CALL TO WORSHIP • Isaiah 6:1-3
We begin each service with a passage of Scripture that calls us to worship. It reminds us that we gather because God has invited us to know Him and be known by Him.
SONG • Holy Forever
Sing along with us.
SONG • O Praise The Name
Sing along with us.
HIGHLIGHT TIME • Dr. Daniel Patterson, Executive Pastor
SCRIPTURE READING • Psalm 23
SONG • Holy Ground
Sing along with us.
SONG • Behold Him
Sing along with us.
PASTORAL PRAYER • Dr. Phillip Bethancourt, Lead Pastor
This is a prayer that spends time both giving thanks to God and a time when we take our needs as a church to God—whether for physical or spiritual needs in our church, for crises around the world, or for missionaries or other gospel churches.
SERMON • Dr. Phillip Bethancourt, Lead Pastor
Each week, we open the Bible and study verse by verse what God has said in his Word and what that means for our lives. We are continuing through our Year in the Bible initiative and today’s message is through Luke 24:25-27, 44-47.
RESPONSE • I Speak Jesus
Feel free to join us in song, place your offering in the giving boxes, gather communion elements, or come talk to us in front of the platform. We would love to pray with you or talk about next steps with you.
LORD’S SUPPER • Dr. Daniel Patterson, Executive Pastor
The Lord’s Supper is a meal that tells the story of the gospel, open to those who are professing believers in Christ and who have professed that faith in believer’s baptism and local-church membership. The bread and cup are rich signs that signify the body and blood of Jesus. As we take this meal, we renew our commitment to Christ and one another.
CENTRAL TOGETHER UPDATES
We end our gathering with a brief time that normally consists of a few announcements or prayer over a group.
BENEDICTION
The benediction is our charge as we are sent from our weekly gathering into the world to be a faithful and loving presence of Jesus.
Giving is an act of worship in response to the extravagant grace and glory of God. Thank you for being a part of what God is doing in and through our local church as you give below.

As a church, we’re planning to read the whole Bible together in a year through a custom-designed reading plan for our church. Each Sunday, we’ll preach from a passage in that week’s reading. We’ll invite our Life Groups to align their focus with this, and we’ll produce a bundle of resources to help enrich the experience for our entire church family.
